What people say4.9★ from 79 Google reviews. 2025 GOAT Award winner, Best Dance Studio.
Nervous? Read this first

Walking in alone is the normal way to start.

Almost everyone in the room walked in by themselves the first time, knowing nobody and no steps. You will not be singled out, you will not be behind, and Michael makes every beginner feel seen even when the room is full.

Come exactly as you are. Comfortable clothes, clean sneakers, a bottle of water. Nothing to buy first, nothing to know first.

Text Michael “I’m new”

Booking made simple

Three easy ways in.

Text to book a class

The fastest route. Text the class you want, or just say you are new, and Michael sends back the next time to come in.

Call if you’d rather talk

Pick up the phone and Michael will help you pick a room, sort out timing, and answer anything before you walk in.

Book a private or wedding lesson

By appointment Monday through Saturday, 9 AM to 9 PM. For weddings, share your song and date and he builds the first dance around the two of you.

With over 30 students, he makes each one of us feel seen. His directions are clear and easy to follow.

Before you book

The questions every new booker asks.

Do I need experience or a partner to book?+
No. You can book with zero experience and come on your own. Most students walk in new and alone, the class rotates so everyone dances, and Michael teaches every step from the ground up.
What’s the fastest way to book?+
Texting Michael at 618-558-6305 is the fastest way to book. Tell him which class or that you are brand new, and he replies with the next time to come in. The form on this page reaches him too.
Can I just come try a class first?+
Yes. Drop-ins are welcome, so you can come try a class before committing to anything. Send a quick text so Michael knows to look for you and you are set.
How do I book a private or wedding lesson?+
Private and wedding lessons run Monday through Saturday by appointment, 9 AM to 9 PM. Call or text Michael with your dates, and for weddings your song, and he builds the plan around your timeline.
Come hang.

Your spot is one message away.

Tell Michael you are new and he’ll get you into the right room. We’re at 2101 Cleveland Blvd, here for Granite City and the whole Illinois Metro East.
